Say you vote on songs 1, 2, and 3. Maybe most people think those are weaker than your entry. But there are 700 more songs on top of that. The other 700 could have public opinion leaning in the other direction.


Sorry Andrew You have lost me I do not understand what you are saying. If 97% think my song is better by far than another song then it should be placed higher regardless of what other people have voted on other songs.


Big Jim,

It's not that 97% of the voters think your song is better than the other songs...97% thought it was better, worse, far better...whatever the rating indicated...than that particular song against which it was paired...that song only. The vote percentage is only for that pairing...not how either of the paired songs faired against all the rest. At least, that is my understanding.
